乔治·梅森大学（George Mason University）的康复科学博士课程吸引学生发展成为从临床到转化研究的各种领域的科学家。通过积极参与自己的研究计划，我们在国内外获得认可的教师导师。除了专门研究自己选择的主题外，学生还对康复科学领域有了广泛的了解。毕业后，我们的学生已准备好在学术，临床，政府和行业研究环境中从事专业职业，并拥有开发自己的康复科学研究工具的工具。追求该专业的学生将在损伤和恢复研究中积累知识和专业知识受伤或生病后运动功能的下降。该领域的研究通常涉及从神经生理学和生物力学到功能性任务
The PhD in rehabilitation science program at George Mason University engages students to develop as scientists across the spectrum of clinical to translational research. Our nationally and internationally recognized faculty mentor students through active involvement in their own research programs. Students develop a broad understanding of the field of rehabilitation science in addition to specializing in a topic of their choice. Upon graduation, our students are prepared for professional careers in academic, clinical, government, and industry research environments with the tools to develop their own lines of research in rehabilitation science.Students pursuing this specialization develop knowledge and expertise in the study of impairment and recovery of motor function following injury or illness. Research in this area often addresses human movement across multiple levels of inquiry, from neurophysiology and biomechanics to functional task performance and community mobility, with the aim of enhancing motor recovery and minimizing disability. Using various methods and instrumentation, studies in this specialization generate new knowledge on the genesis and prevention of disability and test treatment strategies that effectively promote motor learning and improve motor control.
